Hello Candr, Welcome to the forum, sorry I can not help you with the flag or burgee. Regards Alan & Tan

Hi John, I have had this in the past also the smilies can be greyed out. But at the moment it is ok for me. Regards Alan

I have just been on the Oulton Broad Webcam. The water has gone down since last night and early this morning but the water level is still over the mooring at the Wherry Hotel. When I looked at the pictures last the water was almost over the road bridge and the lock and lifting bridge were completly under water. The BA have issued a warning that the lock is out of order due to tidal damage. Regards Alan

Hi Sue, If Brooms are closed then more than likely you will find if difficult to get fuel at any other location. When Brooms ran out of fuel earlier in the season the only place I could get to supply me with a limited amount was at Reedham. As Matt says Broom's is very good and if you phone their accounts department and explain the situation you should be able to sort something out. We have to do the above from time to time due to situations happening within our syndicate. Regards Alan Alan

I must have deleted over 500 emails of all of the above dross, it seemed to go in fits and starts, but traffic is getting worse at the moment. Regards Alan

Hello Barry, It is down to the rating of the microwave and if you want to run a kettle at the same time. You can get a lower wattage microwave at say 1000 or 1500 watts but you may have a 2kw unit and there are not many kettle under 2kw. I would say you need a 2kw inverter minimum and may be better with 3kw but as Mark says you need more batteries and a better alternator or an additional one. Most hirecraft with inverters for use of cooking etc tend to have instructions to run the engines, in my opinion more hire craft should be fitted with shore power hook ups. In your case you need the change over switching for shore power/inverter as already talked about. In the case of Ranworth Breeze we do not have space for an invertor and the additional batteries, so we use 12 volts and shore power. Regards Alan

Hello Strowager, I have had dozens of these today, they are after the unwary just like the DHL messages of last week. Regards Alan

Hi Keith, It is a social networking site for professionals, you may like to talk to them but would you go for a drink with them? not my cup of tea! Regards Alan

Hi Guys, They were great pictures but were from a topic over 5 years old. Regards Alan

Hi muzbaz, Welcome aboard and thanks for taking the plunge Regards Alan

Happy birthday Jon cheers Regards Alan

I have only checked out their boats in Scotland and it is the extra payments such as fuel that really put the squeeze on any holiday booked. Regards Alan

When I was down in Norfolk last weekend I noticed several Le Boat boats at each side of the Potter Heigham Bridge. Regards Alan

I went on earlier this morning, it was very slow in loading up and also slow in opening the small number of topics that was listed. I think there must have been issues with the hosting company, going by the sound of it Richard is somewhat frustrated. Regards Alan

Hi Keith, I think it was mentioned by Jon of Wayford Marine who has got to the 50 posts and beyond. Regards Alan

Hi Keith, AGM went well with yours truly and our other committee members still at the helm for another year. We still have three owner allocations to take and an additional long week into mid December. Only aches and pains really, working too many years on my knees. Regards Alan

The only person I am aware of that has a mooring there is a member of the Birchwood Owners forum at http://birchwoodboatowners.myfreeforum.org Regards Alan

Hi Jon, It was worth a try Not only a good advert but money saved on the hook up to boot Regards Alan

Hi Keith, In reasonable fettle with all the normal ailments. Down in Wroxham this afternoon for a long weekend for our AGM. Regards Alan

Hello Ian, Our air daft with everything down is 9 foot 8 inches and we have been just beyond the Norwich Yacht station without any of the bridges being opened. You have to arrive at the correct tides however to get through the first bridge. Regards Alan

Hi Keith & Jonzo, I have added a link to Strumpshaw Fen to the Attraction section. If you can advise of any more please let me know. Regards Alan

Hello Palmtree, What it your airdraft? Regards Alan

I have not used them, but I have received a few parcels via them. I use Interlink Direct & Parcel Monkey but are looking at another carrier for larger international packages. We have had no problems with both of the above including international. Regards Alan

Hello Raga, Welcome to the forum from Tan & myself. With regards to the repairs on your boat I suggest you have a look in the services section on the forum in the following location http://www.thenorfolkbroads.net/forum/index.php/forum/87-services/ There are a number of companies on the Broads that specialise on the repairs of wooden boats, some of which are forum members. Regards Alan

Hi Gracie, The name of our boat (I say our, I have only 5% of it) is indeed Ranworth Breeze, a 2001 Birchwood 340AC cruiser. It is a share boat as you can imagine, but it went self managed in February 2012. I have been involved with the boat from the begining after I bought a share in the boat at the 2000 boat show, the boat was yet to be lauched, but we had been looking for a share scheme from around 1998 original on the Canals, at that time there were only two schemes on the canals and we went to look at both of the boats at the time and we were not impressed. We had been going on Narrow boats since 1974 and each year a group of us keep up the tradition (Scotish Canals earlier this year). There is currently about 8 to 10 share boats on the Broads, but there are a number of boats shared by more than one owner as well but these may not be formal arrangements. I have enjoyed my 13 seasons on the Broads and hoping for many more to come. Ranworth Breeze is the boat with the canopy the other boat is our sister vessle Southern Crusader (again self managed).
